Faustina, Apostle of Divine Mercy

Product Description

During the dark and turbulent years preceding World War II, an unknown and largely unschooled Polish nun received an amazing revelation of the boundless mercy of God. Since then, this message about the Divine Mercy has swept the entire world. Despite great opposition, this frail sister never failed to keep her eye on God and her heart attuned to His message for all humanity. Among her many admirers is Pope John Paul II, who has made many pilgrimages to her tomb in Lagiewniki, Poland, near Krakow.

The sister's name is Saint Faustina, the Apostle of Divine Mercy. From her impoverished childhood through the challenges of religious life, to her final fatal illness and death at the age of thirty-three, Saint Faustina's piety and personality are presented as the backdrop against which God chose to display His love for all.

In this popular biography of Blessed Faustina, Odell draws on Faustina's diary and many other sources to present the fascinating and inspiring life story of this remarkable young woman whose divinely inspired revelations and mystical experiences have touched thousands of lives and formed the basis for the worldwide Divine Mercy Movement. A profound message of God's hope and love for our time!
